Torsten, what is the compiler version (I don't have Apple compilers, but
it seems plausible that older clang might have the same problem).

That's machine is running Mac OS X 10.6, which is no longer supported
with updates.

 gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)

Thanks. Out of curiosity, I tried to reproduce by with a build of gcc
4.2.1, to see if I could bisect. But it seems the toolchain is quite
complex. After much munging, I managed to build a broken compiler (which
I think is due to a much too-new version of bison, but I stopped
digging).

Your suggestion elsewhere in the thread to just use clang instead sounds
good to me. :)
